Esri UC 2017 Water Meeting - How Central San Became a GIS-Centric Water Resou...Carl Von Stetten
In 2016 Central San completed the migration of its GIS operations to the ArcGIS platform to provide a foundation for a GIS-Centric operation. Central San leveraged the Local Government Information Model (LGIM) and associated maps, applications, and tools to improve the quality and efficiency of maintaining sewer, recycled water, and parcel-related GIS data. The completed GIS system became the authoritative data source for several other mission-critical applications: an intranet GIS portal, a Computerized Maintenance Management System, a CCTV pipeline inspection system, a hydraulic model, and a capital improvement planning system.
We present the concept, implementation and use of the Kadaster Innovation Funnel, which has been realized using a combination of Semantic MediaWiki, linked data, and Linked Data Theatre visualization.

Leveraging ArcGIS Platform & CityEngine for GIS based Master PlansEsri India
Sustainable, scalable and future ready urban development is one the key priorities in India as well globally. Major government programs i.e. Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) aim to build foundations to achieve this.
For any planned development, master plan is a starting point. A master plan provides a long term blueprint that guides the sustainable planned development of the city. Use of GIS for master planning is not new. GIS-based Master Plans will help in different types of urban planning exercises, e.g. preparation of development plan, zonal plan, utility plan, infrastructure plan, etc. Even Smart City program and AMRUT programs mandate use of GIS for master plan creation.
ArcGIS is a complete platform for end-to-end city planning, design and management. The webinar illustrates how ArcGIS Platform and 3D capabilities of CityEngine provides a complete set of tools for end-to-end GIS based master plan creation and updation.

Editor's Notes
Information sharing between two individuals not belonging to the same information community is usually impeded by any of three conditions.
1. Ignorance of the existence of information outside one’s own information community.
2. Modeling of phenomena not of mutual interest.
3. Modeling of phenomena in two representations different from each other such that each is not recognized by the other.
The third condition is very, very typical in the geospatial community. Continuing our example of roads, different users of street Departments of Transportation (different information communities) define and collect road features differently. The result is that a State boundary, a road may have different names, different semantics, different accuracy metadata and so forth.
The first five layers, from the Real World to the Project World, deal with the abstraction of real world facts, and are not modeled in software.
The final four layers, from Points to Feature Collections, deal with mathematical and symbolic models of the world and are meant to be modeled in software.
Even so, this Essential Model of the final four layers assumes that they are real-world objects, and gives no specification, however abstract, for their implementation. The final layer is the abstraction of reality specified in the language an information – the geometric and semantic description of a set of features or Feature Collection.
Geospatial information is anything that you can learn by looking at maps -- not just traditional maps, but new, creative, digital maps and earth visualization systems. A map, after all, is simply a metaphor for the Earth itself. We therefore accept raster Earth imagery as a kind of map, and even less structured collections of samples of Earth phenomena with any kind of instrumentation as acceptable maps. For the purposes of this presentation, we use the term “map” in a very broad sense – encompassing all earth metaphors from traditional paper maps to 3d earth visualization systems.
We can learn about phenomena that vary with time by looking at special maps designed to reveal temporal differences and events. For now, we will assume that phenomena do not change, or that temporal aspects of geospatial information can be held as attributes of features. (a curb is a solid feature and its shape remains the same … whereas a cloud – shape varies over time)
The fundamental unit of geospatial information is called a feature. Features may be defined recursively, so there can be considerable variation in feature granularity.
The collection and use of geospatial information has one purpose: to communicate knowledge about phenomena that have location.
For example, the knowledge imparted by the map answers two kinds of questions: &quot;where&quot; and &quot;what.&quot;
Maps can tell us where things are, both in relation to other nearby things.
Maps also can tell us what things are, either through symbology (e.g., by use of color or line pattern whose meaning is explained in a legend) or through text or tabular annotations or multi-media links.
The same goes for attributes that modify or extend our knowledge of things.
Digital geospatial information is geospatial information that has been encoded into a digital form. The encoding is done so that computer resources can be applied to automate the business of geospatial information processing: storage, transmission, analysis, visualization and so forth.
There are many different ways to create digital representations of geospatial information. This richness of alternatives is more a curse than a blessing since it has created the confusing and apparently chaotic variety of Geographic Information System (GIS) data structures and formats now confronting GIS users.
